CSNS Expands April
Convention
Visitors to the April 2022 Central
States Numismatic Society (www.
CentralStatesNumismaticSociety.org)
convention will find an expanded
bourse area with more dealers and
more exhibits. Additional dealer tables
are now available, according to CSNS
convention organizers.
The show will be conducted
April 27-30, 2022 at the Renaissance
Hotel and Convention Center, 1551
Thoreau Dr., in the Chicago suburb
of Schaumburg, Ill. The convention
facility and hotel has been the site of
CSNS conventions in recent years.
“We’ve had extremely high demand
for tables for the upcoming April show,
so we have added additional space in
the convention hall and redesigned
the floor plan to add more than 80
additional tables. This is shaping
up to be the largest Central States
convention in over 30 years and could
be the largest in its 83-year history,”
said CSNS Convention Manager Larry
Shepherd.
“Although we were nearly sold
out before the expansion, we now
have tables available in all floor
sections: U.S., World and Ancient,
and Currency. I encourage dealers to
act quickly to sign up for available
space,” he emphasized. The Central
States convention is the home show
for the Professional Currency Dealers
Association (www.PCDAonline.com).
This past October, CSNS officials
announced that Professional Coin

“PCGS and Collectors Universe will
also be the Official Supplier of Grading

the CSNS convention.”
With the expansion of floor space,
there will be several exhibit areas
including special displays of superb-

240 showcases of collectors’ exhibits.
Some of the exhibit owners will be
available for meet-and-greet sessions to
answer visitors’ questions.
There will be a 2022 PNG Day
on Wednesday, April 27, for the
Professional Numismatists Guild and
its invited guests, and the CSNS show
will be open to everyone, April 28-30.

DETECTORIST FINDS RARE GOLD COIN
This gold Henry III penny was sold at auction for over $720,000 U.S. (Image courtesy of Spink)
“Find a penny, pick it up, all day long, you’ll have good
luck. Pass that penny to a friend; your penny luck will never
end,” goes a well-known children’s rhyme. Armed with a metal
detector, Michael Leigh-Mallory may want to argue that a
found penny might offer a lot more than what a friend could
do for you should you have given the penny to that friend.
In late September 2021 Leigh-Mallory found one of only
eight known gold penny coins of Henry III using his metal
detector. On Jan. 23 the coin was sold through an online
auction conducted by Spink and Son auctioneer Gregory
Edmund. Edmund reported the coin realized £540,000, which
is about $728,700 U.S.
Leigh-Mallory is fortunate in more than one way. Under
the Treasure Act of 1996 the finder can keep and sell an arti-
fact such as this coin if it is determined the coin or artifact is
not part of a larger trove. Many times the government takes
possession of such finds, offering the finder a portion of the
value realized once the object is sold to a British museum.
Leigh-Mallory made the discovery in a farm field in Hemyock,
Devon, which is about 150 miles southwest of London.
Leigh-Mallory said, “90 percent of my finds are trash, from
ring pulls to miscellaneous pieces of iron and other rubbish.”
According to Leigh-Mallory, “The coin was four inches
6 World Coin News / March 2022
(10cm) deep in a ploughed field and I put the trowel in and
found this glinting piece of gold. I knew it was gold and
medieval, but I had no idea it was from Henry III (ruled 1247-
1272).”
The obverse depicts a full-length figure of Henry crowned,
robed, and enthroned. He holds a scepter in his right hand and
orb in his left. The obverse legend reads HENRIC REX: I.I.I:
The reverse features the long cross style introduced by Henry
on his silver penny coinage of 1247. The pellets in each angle
are smaller than as they appear on the silver pennies. There is
a large rose between the pellet groups on the gold penny. The
reverse legend reads WILLEM: ON LVNDEN,” a reference to
the moneyer William of Gloucester who operated the mint at
London.
According to Spink’s Coins of England and the United
Kingdom, “In 1257, following the introduction of new gold
coinages by the Italian cities of Brindisi (1232), Florence
(1252), and Genoa (1253), Henry III issued a gold coinage
in England. This was a gold ‘penny’ valued at 20 silver pence
and twice the weight of the silver penny. The coinage was not
a success, being undervalued, and it ceased to be minted after
a few years; few coins have survived.” The coin is cataloged as
No. 1376.

VIRTUAL COIN SHOW 17: ITALY
I love coins shows but social distancing had put them on hold for a while. But where
there’s a will there’s a way. I also realized that many mail order customers never get to see
my show inventory. Thus I can accomplish both objectives by simply grabbing my lonely Same, AU ....................... 25.00
coin show boxes, and typing them up. I hope you all have fun while hibernating or coming 1936, 5 Litai, KM-82, AU+ 38.00

 Henry’s gold penny is the first English hammered gold coin
struck following the Norman conquest of England. In 1254
Henry’s accrued debts from foreign adventures cost the sover-
eign a hoard of 2,000 marks in gold. The king required addi-
tional money for debts three years later, opting to follow the
example of the Italian city-states by converting gold to pennies.
Records indicate the moneyer William delivered 37,280 gold
pennies valued at 466 marks on August 27, 1257. A further
15,200 worth 190 marks were completed by October 1258.
London merchants did not embrace the issue, finding that each
coin to represent a large sum of money, while speculating that
if gold became generally available throughout the kingdom its
price might become depressed. The gold coins were perceived
as undervalued with respect to silver and for that reason were
of greater intrinsic rather than face value if melted.
Merchants petitioned Henry against having to accept the
coins. The king responded by issuing a proclamation on
JERSEY STRUGGLES WITH ANTIQUATED ANTIQUITY LAWS
The Government of Jersey bought itself a Christmas pres-
ent on Dec. 23, 2021. Jersey purchased one of the largest coin
hoards in Europe, the hoard purchased from the Receiver
General “on behalf of the island.”
It almost sounds like this is a case of “if you can’t beat ‘em,
join ‘em.” Money recovered from criminal activity now depos-
ited in the civil asset recovery fund controlled by the Council
of Ministers was used to make the £4.25 million (about $5.75
million U.S.) payment.
The hoard was claimed by the Crown when it was discovered
in 2012 as treasure trove in accordance with Jersey customary
law.
Chairman of Jersey Heritage’s Board of Trustees Tim
Brown said, “The acquisition illustrates why the island desper-
ately needs new legislation to cover the discovery of portable
antiquities, such as this significant archaeological find. We
are fully aware of the practice for valuing similar finds in the
U.K. (United Kingdom) and have concerns that the ultimate
price paid was so far adrift from expert advice. Such a conclu-
sion could have a detrimental impact on Jersey reputation and
endanger future acquisitions by setting a precedent for inflated
valuations.”
The purchase isn’t a first. In April 2021 Jersey Heritage
purchased 1,600 coins and 35 pieces of jewelry dating from the
Iron Age for £38,000. These items made up about two-thirds of
the Le Catillon One Hoard discovered in 1957.
Current law does not require islanders to report any of their
finds. In 2020 Senator Lyndon Farnham brought forward a
Heritage and Antiquities law proposal aimed “to provide clar-
ity on heritage matters and to ensure the island is able to com-
ply with recognized best practice and any relevant international
conventions that extend to Jersey.”
Similar proposals have been being made for at least 30 years.
Farnham’s document notes the island lacks “a robust, statutory
set of protections for antiquities, including with respect to their
movement, treatment discovery and custody.”
November 24 stating no one was obligated to accept the gold
pennies. The proclamation said any of the coins could be
returned to the royal exchange where the bearer would receive
the current rate in silver coins less a halfpenny as a transac-
tion fee.
The 2.5 percent fee was a disincentive. The coins were
recalled, with Henry paying 24 pence each for late arrivals
received between 1265 and 1270. Some of the returned coins
were used by Henry as church votive offerings. Two of the
eight surviving examples were later found in Italy where they
may have been gifted to the pope.
In his 2009 book English Coins 1180-1551 Lord Stewartby
says, “Seven coins are recorded, from four pairs of dies.” Three
of these coins are unique. London is expressed as LVND or
LVNDE. A die link between the Leigh-Mallory specimen and
any of the other known specimens was not known at the time
this article was being written.
On Feb. 11, 2020, legislative drafting instructions for a
Heritage and Antiquities Law were drawn. According to
the Decision, “The Minister for Economic Development,
Tourism, Sport and Culture decided that a Heritage and
Antiquities Law was needed in Jersey to provide clarity on
heritage matters and to ensure the island is able to comply
with recognized best practice and any relevant international
conventions that extend to Jersey.”
The Reason for Decision reads, “Heritage matters in Jersey
are not currently covered by adequate protective legisla-
tion. The current legal position regarding treasure trove, for
example, is governed by limited customary law. More broadly,
the island lacks a robust, statutory set of protections for antiq-
uities, including with respect to their movement, treatment
discovery, and custody.”
The draft includes a Resource Implication reading, “There
are no financial or manpower resource implications.”
On Feb. 27, 2020, Jersey News newspaper reported, “While
Jersey Heritage has developed an online ‘Historic Environment
Record’, there is no legal requirement to record any discovery
there, and therefore the system is purely voluntary.”
On April 27, 2021, the British Broadcasting Corporation
called for “a need for new laws to protect antiquities found
locally and keep them in the island.” The BBC pointed out
“The 1957 hoard was not claimed by the Crown under the
customary law of Jersey at the time of discovery, and much of
it was subsequently dispersed by sale without being recorded.”
On Jan. 3 the Bailiwick Express reported, “We are sur-
rounded by history in Jersey. From the more recent remains
of the Occupation to the Ice Age, when mammoths were
chased over the cliffs at Ouaisné by Neanderthals, the signs
of Jersey’s fascinating past are all around us - and they need
to be recorded or risk being lost. It may not be every day that
a hoard of Celtic coins is discovered, but items are regularly
being found, and they still need to be identified and registered
by the experts at Jersey Heritage. That process was strength-

THE UNCIRCULATED
1921 PEACE DOLLAR HOARD A SILVER DOLLAR JACKPOT!

There are a select few coins through the history of the United States Mint with a better story than the fabled Peace
Dollar…and it all began with U.S. Victory & the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28th, 1919 to mark the official
end of the First World War, otherwise known as the ‘Great War’. As has become commonplace, United States Mint’s
production was largely dictated by what the U.S. governments needs were during wartime…and in this case, what
they needed was a new Dollar!
As the U.S. increased its involvement in the war in Europe, the government decided to enact the Pittman Act of
1918…an act which called for the melting of over 350 million Silver Dollars (Mostly Morgan Dollars) to help finance
the war effort. In fact, over two-thirds of the silver dollars melted down went to Great Britain to pay for the war!
The remaining silver was used by the U.S. Mint to re-release the Morgan again in 1921…but the public demanded
something new, something better!
As the Great War came to a close, the Nation needed a new dollar to signify their transition away from the years of
bloodshed and violence that had gripped them during the world war. They needed a coin to herald in the new era of
peace that was to be ushered in…and that is exactly what they decided to call the coin: The Peace!
The End of the Silver Dollar Era
The massive amounts of silver obtained by the Pittman Act were not to be endless and ran out in the year 1928…just
seven years after the new Silver ‘Peace” Dollars began production in 1921! The United States Stock Market would crash
the following year in 1929, sending the nation into the Great Depression. When you combine this period of economic
hardship with the already limited amount of silver left in the United States’ Treasury by 1928…it was almost inevitable
that the ‘Peace Dollar’ would become the last regular issue 90% Silver Dollar produced by the United States Mint.
Outside of limited short run minting in 1934 and 1935 due to special legislation passing, all of the fabled 90% Silver
Peace Dollars were minted between 1921 and 1928. The Silver Dollar’s primary design depicts an eagle at rest clutching
an olive branch, with the legend ‘Peace.’ The obverse shows a modern Lady Liberty with the motto “In God we Trust.”
Trust is spelled TRVST…the V for victory!
Did you know? The new Peace Dollar would be the first U.S. coin to be issued without congressional sanction?
A Mile-High Silver Discovery – A Silver Dollar Jackpot!
Save over $200 per coin!
The Peace Dollar has always been one of the most popular coins among collectors…but they have become even
harder to find in uncirculated condition in more recent years! Luckily, our team discovered a small hoard while at
the York Coin show in York, Pennsylvania! We purchased several bags of uncirculated silver dollars, and what we
found inside those bags was astonishing…more than a few of these Peace Dollars were still in stunning uncirculated
condition after all the years!
Our competition is selling uncirculated 1921 Peace Dollars for well over $2,000 apiece…but thanks to our lucky find,
we can offer you the same Uncirculated First Year of Issue 1921 Peace Silver Dollars for the unbelievable price of just
$595.00. But hurry! We only took the strongest looking coins of the hoard, so our quantity is going to be extremely
limited…and once these sell out, they are gone!
Remember, this year is the 100th Year Anniversary of the 1921 Peace Dollar.
All of our coins are in Fully Gem uncirculated quality – and if you order more than one, we will give you a $25.00
discount on each additional coin ordered.

would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Minister of Interior.
Because our Ministry of Interior offers a very serious coopera-
tion and support in our work with all relevant units.”
Ersoy was talking about the seizure of coins and other
antiquities from a Turkish citizen in Croatia. The items were
seized at the Bajakovo-Batrovci border crossing between Serbia
and Croatia. The seizure involved what one source described as
“Anatolian city coins and coins minted in the 5th century B.C.
that have common validity almost everywhere in Anatolia.”
Other coins in the seizure were early Arab-Byzantine
Islamic issues. This included a gold coin of Mahmut II as well
as silver and copper coins.
Ervoy said, “When we look at the civilizational origins
of the coins, we see Roman, Cappadocia, Seleucid, Pontus,
Cilicia, Umayyad, Ilkhanid-Seljuk and Ottoman coins. As for
the time period, we can say that the coins recovered cover a
period of approximately 2,300 years.”
The minister continued, “The stamps from the 5th to the
11th centuries, which were used as postal seals, imperial seals,
saint seals and church seals in the Byzantine period, and
bronze scale weights, all of Anatolian character and belonging
to the Roman-Byzantine period.”
Anatolia Operation was carried out by the Department
of Anti-Smuggling and Organized Crime of the Ministry
of Internal Affairs. Ersoy said, “This operation, which was
carried out simultaneously in 30 different provinces, includ-
ing the center of Adana, and which includes countries such
as Croatia, Serbia, and Bulgaria on its international leg, is a
first in both its scope and the first historical artifact smug-
gling operation in the history of the republic, for the proceeds
of crime. Congratulations once again. With the Anatolian
Operation, which we supported as the Ministry with our cen-
tral and provincial organizations, more than 20,000 cultural
assets were seized without being smuggled abroad and handed
over to the Adana Museum Directorate.”
We forwarded,” he added, “the detailed report prepared
in this direction to the Croatian authorities and persistently
followed the issue. I hope that the protective attitude, out-
standing hospitality and cooperation shown by Croatia will
be remembered as an example of the best implementation
of the UNESCO 1970 Convention. As a result, on Dec. 1,
2021, the artifacts were brought to Turkey and kept in Ankara
Anatolian Civilizations Museum.”
The Department of Anti-Smuggling was established in
March 2020 within the body of Turkish ministries. The DAS is
focused on operating in a multi-faceted manner. Turkish gov-
ernment press said the department has achieved “significant
success in the international arena as well as in the country.”
Minister of Culture and Tourism Mehmet Nuri Ersoy
said the work being accomplished in this field is an example
of serious cooperation. “I would like once again to ask every
individual of our nation to show the same sensitivity and to
protect the relics of our lands and ancestors together with us.”
The Croatian ambassador to Ankara Hrvoje Cvitanovic,
bureaucrats from the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism,
and the Ministry of Interior attended the press conference.

 CHALLENGE TO COIN AND NOTE CHANGES
It appears Philippine Senator Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel
III may not be a fan of coin or bank note collecting. On Dec.
16, 2021, the senator filed a resolution through which he hopes
to investigate what Pimentel called “frequent and apparently
purposeless” changes in the design of Philippine peso coins
and bank notes by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas or Central
Bank of the Philippines.
Among Pimentel’s observations are that in 2019 the central
bank announced a redesign of the new 5-peso coin “due to the
obvious public confusion it caused” with the new 1-peso coin.
The senator further observed that in July 2019 the 20-peso
bank note was replaced with a ringed bimetal coin which is
only slightly larger than is the 10-peso coin. The new 20 peso
began to circulate in early mid-2021.
Pimentel’s resolution also calls for investigation of the
BSP’s Dec. 11, 2021, announcement of a “complete overhaul”
of 1,000-peso bank note. A vignette of a Philippine eagle is
intended to replace that of World War Two heroes and martyrs
Chief Justice Jose Abad Santos, Brigadier General Vicente
Podico Lim, and Josefa Llanes-Ecoda.
The Philippine or monkey-eating eagle is an endangered
species endemic to the Philippines. Santos was executed by
the Japanese during World War Two for refusing to cooperate
with the Japanese occupation government. Lim was a West
Point graduate and war hero known for having stood up to
General Douglas MacArthur regarding prejudice. Llanes-
Ecoda was a war heroine as well as founder of the Philippines
Girl Scouts. Philippine heroes have been replaced or removed
from Philippine currency before, but this is the first time heroes
will be replaced by animals.
Pimentel also cited the misspelling of former-President
Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s name and the scientific name of
the Philippine eagle on currency.
The senator said, “There is a need to inquire into the rea-
son for the BSP’s rather arbitrary and hasty changes in our
monetary design for the purpose of crafting legislation on this
matter.”
Pimentel indicated he wants an inquiry to determine the
agencies or offices involved or consulted in the coin and bank
notes design changes; the cost of these changes to Filipino tax-
payers; the problems encountered by the BSP when the New
Design Series of 1985 to 2017 was demonetized; the rationale
behind the changes in the 1,000-peso bank note; and whether
or not the new 1,000-peso polymer composition note is truly
a “limited series” as the BSP announced. The central bank
announced it would produce 500 million of these notes with a

face value totaling 500 billion pesos.
Modern Philippine coins and bank notes commenced with
the English Series of 1949 to 1969. The 1- and 5-centavos coins
features a man besides an anvil holding and hammer, and
Mount Mayon. Lady Liberty and Mount Mayon are featured
on the obverse of the 10- and 25-centavo coins. Bank notes
were issued in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200,
and 500 pesos, each featuring the vignette of national heroes
and former presidents.
This was followed by the 1969 to 1973 Pilipino Series and
by the 1973 to 1985 Bagong Lipunan Series. Coins were issued
in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 centavos and 1 peso.
Bank notes were issued in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50,
and 100 pesos. National hero Jose Rizal appears on both the
1-peso coin and bank note.
The Flora and Fauna Series that followed replaced the
central bank logo with plants and animals on the obverse.
Philippine heroes are featured on each reverse. The coins were
issued in denominations of 1, 50, 10, 25, and 50 centavos and
CROATIA TO ADOPT EURO
Croatia’s controversial kuna currency system is about to
be replaced by the European Union’s euro in 2023.
While the kuna itself has been controversial, the change
to the euro will be costly and logistically challenging.
More than one billion kuna and lips coins estimated to be
capable of filling 260 trucks need to be withdrawn from
circulation. While the Ministry of Defense wouldn’t say
why, the coins will be moved to a secret location where they
will be stored for three years.

1, 2, and 5 pesos.
When martial law was lifted in 1981 the New Design Series
introduced new bank notes in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50,
100, 200, and 500 pesos. In 1991 the diameter of the “Improved
Flora and Fauna” series coins was reduced. A 5-peso coin
replaced the bank note of the same denomination, while the
1,000-peso World War Two heroes bank note was introduced.
The 10-peso bank note was replaced with a coin in 2001.
The BSP launched the New Generation Currency in 2010.
The series purposely retained most of the New Design Series
features including size, predominant colors, and featured per-
sonalities, except for the portrait of former president Corazon
Aquino, an addition to the 500-peso note. The series replaced
a vignette of former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
taking the oath of office on the back of the 200-peso note
with the Philippine tarsier. These changes were planned by a
numismatic committee that included BSP Deputy Governor

DON’T PANIC

Liberia is seeking to quell public concern regarding the recent discovery of counterfeit $L500 bank notes.

The Central Bank of Liberia basically said, “Don’t
panic” following the seizure of L$1.0 million in counterfeit
L$500 bank notes.
The bank notes are valued at about $6,845 U.S. at
exchange rates posted at the time this article was being
written. Such an event might not normally cause much
concern, but Liberia is currently introducing a new family
of currency.
A statement released Jan. 5 by the central bank said,
“In addition to the first batch of L$4.0 billion of the new
L$100 bank notes that is gradually being injected into the
economy largely through the commercial banks, which
began in December 2021, the CBL, working with interna-
tional partners, is proceeding with arrangements for the
delivery of the second L$4.0 billion new L$100 bank notes
in January 2022 to begin the gradual replacement of muti-
lated bank notes, as well as concluding the procurement
process for the printing and minting of the remaining new
bank notes and coins.”
The statement continues, “Regarding the features on
the newly printed L$100 and the existing L$500 bank
notes, both the newly printed and existing bank notes have

slanted lines, making the edges rough. When held up and
flipped, the seal on the bank notes becomes visible inside
the left white field, and the stars in the threads across the
notes do move. The counterfeit bank notes do not have
such features. Moreover, the paper used for the counterfeit
bank notes can be easily detected from their feel and look
as well.”
“While the CBL wants to reassure the public not to
panic about the recent situation as the counterfeit bank
notes can be easily recognized and detected, the public is
urged to alert the CBL and the Ministry of Justice with
any information relating to the use or introduction of any
counterfeit bank notes.”
The CBL’s Technical Committee for Currency Reform
has been working with the IMF experts to ensure an orderly
replacement of all current coins and bank notes. This
includes issuing coins rather than bank notes in denomina-
tions of L$10 and L$5. New bank notes are being released
in denominations of L$20, L$50, L$100, L$500, and
L$1,000. In late 2021 Liberia’s legislature gave the central
bank a mandate for coins and bank notes to be produced
in 2021, 2022, and in 2024.
Details of the situation involving the counterfeit L$500
notes were not immediately available. It is important since
this is a high value bank note and it wasn’t made clear if
the counterfeits involved the older or the new notes. The
L$1,000 is a new denomination.
According to Liberian sources, the new L$100 and
$L500 bank notes are printed using what was referred as
“slanted lines, making the edges rough.” Each note has
front to back registry of a seal. Stars in the security threads
appear to move. The same source indicated “The paper
used for the counterfeit bank notes can be easily detected
from their feel and look as well.” The central bank has
indicated the L$100 is the most commonly used bank note
in circulation.
Counterfeiting has been a problem in Liberia in recent
years. In a legislative discussion regarding changing the
physical currency in late March 2021 Senator Milton
Teahjay said, “I am in support of printing money, but we
don’t want to print money thinking we are making the
right decision but creating the problem. What is the plan to
prevent duplication of the bank note? If these measures are
assured, I will vote in favor of printing new bank notes.”
Liberia’s modern bank notes were introduced in 1989.
The $L5 note is known as a JJ due to the vignette of J.J.
Roberts appearing on the front. Liberty notes on which
Liberia’s heraldry replaced the vignette of Roberts fol-
lowed.
“Unified” notes on which former presidents appear
exchangeable at a ratio of one for two for JJ notes were
issued beginning in 2000. Minor changes to these notes
were made three years later. The L$500 denomination was
introduced in 2016 as the central bank introduced new
notes with enhanced security features.
The need for higher denomination bank notes continues
as Liberia wrestles with inflation. The annual inflation rate
was at 23.55 percent in 2018, 26.97 percent in 2019, 16.95
in 2020, and at 5.87 in 2021.

From A to Z
Tibet Starts Thinking About Modern
Finance
The copper 3 sho of 1946 was a short-lived issue that succumbed quickly to inflation. (Diameter 26 mm)
LOOKING AT THINGS from a Tibetan point of view,
the modern era began with the installation of the 14th
Dalai Lama, who was installed in 1940 and is still in
place.
From a Chinese point of view, Tibet was a Chinese ter-
ritory that had wandered away, politically speaking, and
was brought back where it belonged in 1959, and that’s
the beginning of the “modern era.”
We have to keep this double viewpoint in mind as we
consider Tibet. The whole time those coins we try to col-
lect were being made, China was saying that the Tibetan
government was illegal, and Tibet was part of China.
They just weren’t able to do anything about it until 1950.
There is a Sino-Tibetan history of the period, and
there is an internal Tibetan history of the period. They
are not the same stories. Depending on what you’re look-
ing at, they are both somewhat true.
The government of the 13th Dalai Lama first declared
Tibet independent from China in 1913 and the Tibetan
government headed by the 13th and 14th Dalai Lamas
did not deviate from that position until 1950, when the
Tibetan government officials signed a treaty with the
Peoples’ Republic that declared Tibet to be an autono-
mous part of China.
The 14th Dalai Lama then repudiated that treaty after
his flight to exile in India following the invasion of Tibet

by the Peoples’ Liberation Army in 1959. The Tibetan
coinage ceased to circulate at that point.
The Peoples’ Republic maintains an ethnically appro-
priate government in Tibet, watched over by a local
Communist Party branch whose important functionaries
are Chinese. Like all local governments in that country, it
upholds and supports the things the central government
is interested in.
As tulkus in various religious and traditional govern-
ment positions die, the Chinese administrations insert
themselves into process of choosing the next tulkus. The
14th Dalai Lama has approved of some of the new tulkus
chosen with Chinese influence, depends on the quality of
their characters.
There are monks and nuns and lamas in Tibet. Back in
the old days a significant percentage of males spent their
lives in the monasteries, supported by public funds.
It is said that more than 5000 monasteries were
destroyed, the monks dispersed and put to work. The offi-
cial Chinese line is that most of the destruction occurred
during the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution of the
1970s. There is another opinion: that most of the destruc-
tion occurred after the suppression of the 1959 uprising.
The Chinese said they invaded to quell a rebellion and
stayed to free the serfs and grow the economy.
The Tibetans say that the Chinese are destroying
Tibetan culture by sending ethnic Chinese to settle in

Tibet.
Tibet only got to do national things, like make coins,
because China was preoccupied, first with internal anar-
chy, then the war with Japan, then the civil war, then the
Korean War.
The 13th Dalai Lama died in 1933 after a long reign.
The government, as usual, went to a Regency Council of
old male religious officials. The civil administration went
on as usual. They waited a few years, and then started
consulting the oracles, the astrologers, and all other pos-
sible sources of information about where the Dalai Lama
tulku had been reborn.
The Chinese opining that there should be a Golden
Urn Ceremony, where the candidates were drawn by lot.
They had made that demand before in Tibet’s history. As
usual, the Tibetans ignored them, and picked the 14th
Dalai Lama they wanted to pick.
Some scuffling occurred around the Golden Urn
matter. There was the possibility of a Chinese invasion,
bought off by payments of some hundreds of thousands
of silver dollars to a local warlord. It’s more complicated
than that, but Chinese troops did not enter Tibet at that
time.
The regents brought the new Dalai Lama to Lhasa and
gave him the highest quality of traditional education.
They enthroned him in 1940, aged 5 years. His train-
ing continued. He took on the full duties of the position
in 1950, aged 15. This was after the first invasion by the
Peoples’ Republic.
The Tibetan government had been taking steps toward
modernization. Little bits of education, police, some
modern doctors, traces of the thought of putting aside
the feudal obligations that bound poor people to rich
people, little pockets of western style administration, the
start of a modern style economic sector, with banks and
fiat currency represented by the bank notes.
First thing that happened after the Chinese occupa-
tion of Lhasa in 1950 was a Tibetan delegation went to
China and signed the abovementioned treaty. The 14th
Dalai Lama has since denied authorizing that delegation
and has declared that it was signed under duress and is
not valid.
In 1954 he went to Beijing and met Mao Zedong.
While there he was made Vice Chairman of the Standing

Committee of the National Peoples’ Congress, which
didn’t mean anything in terms of what he had to do, but
the Chinese got to say that proved that Tibetans were
Chinese.
Land reform was a huge thing for the Chinese. They
went expropriating land all over the country. But instead
of delivering individual plots, which is what the peasants
all wanted, they communalized everything, said it would
make everything more efficient.
When they got the job done in the Chinese heartland,
they turned the policy loose in the ethnic provinces.
Eventually they got to Tibet.
The way it worked in Tibet, to some degree, is that
ethnically Chinese people were brought in to set up the
communal farms. So that became the same old foreigners
problem that Tibet, from its point of view, had always
had.
The response was unrest, beginning in the eastern
region near China. The disturbances got more intense,
the Chinese got more repressive, eventually there was an
armed uprising, the Chinese brought in masses of troops,
the Dalai Lama fled to India. That was 1959.
The 14th Dalai Lama is probably the longest serving
head of state in human history. Technically he is not
a head of state anymore, having resigned in favor of a
democratically constituted executive committee. But he is
still the spiritual leader.
The Chinese are waiting for him to die, at which point
they will in some way or another try to tighten their grip
on Tibet.
On to the coins.
Coinage had ceased in 1928 (Tibetan year 2 of 16th
cycle, or 16-2). There was a presentation issue of tangkas
for the monks in 1930. There are no coins dated years 3
through 5 of the 16th cycle.
The Tapchi mint reopened in 1932, Tibetan year 16-6.
Previously they had been making copper in a variety
of denominations. In 1925-28 they made shos and 5
shos. They continued making shos through the 1930s.
Generally, they are common.
Silver 3 srangs were struck. They were good silver,
say they’re 3 Chinese taels, with the metal content and
module of the Indian rupee. The Lhasa market liked the
rupees better and took the Tibetan versions at a discount.

The 10 srang coin of the late 1940s and early 50s were made of low fineness billon. On this specimen the copper is plainly visible. 10 srang was
supposed to be equal to 10 Chinese ounces of silver. (Actual diameter 30mm)
They kept making them until 1936 and again in 1946,
when the British rupee had had its fineness cut to .500.
These days people are wanting several hundred dollars
for these, and they are getting between $100 and $200.
They made halves of these coins, 1 1/2 srang, for a few
years in the 1930s, and again in 1946. Last time I had
them they were about $10. They’re getting about $100
these days.
There was one coin struck between 1940 and 1945.
That would be the copper sho of 16-16 (1942). Not rare.
1946 (16-20) was kind of a new start for the mint. They
made copper 3 shos, and silver 1 1/2 and 3 srangs on the
old 1930s model. None of these denominations worked
out. Those 3 shos are not particularly available these
days. Price seems to be around $30 or so.
In 1947 they started the 5 sho copper series. These are
easy to find as types. The last of them was dated 1953,
two years into the Chinese occupation.
In 1948 they issued billon 10 srang coins. These are the
most modern looking of the Tibet series. They are not
hard to get, prices are reasonable.
There are plenty of die varieties, even for the coins of
the 1940s-50s. Some of them might be die cutter’s marks,
or mint accounting privy marks. Some are obviously
nothing special.
And there was one more striking of silver tangkas for
presentation to monks in 1953. This was the last Tibetan
coin. The dies were cut by hand. There are varieties.
There had to have been records. They were making
bank notes with serial numbers, so there are, or were,
records for the paper money. They were trying to mod-
ernize. Where are the mint records? Were they destroyed
after the suppression of the 1959 uprising, or during the
Cultural Revolution? No data seems to be available at
this time.
24 World Coin News / March 2022
There is another special Tibet issue of the period,
made by China. Recall the Sichuan rupee, made in China
for Tibet. This is the Tibet “fat man dollar”.
China had been silver dollar crazy since the days of the
Spanish colonial pillar dollars. In the Republican period
the main dollar everywhere was the one with the military
portrait of Yuan Shikai (Shih-Kai). He was the guy who
was selected to be the first President of the Republic of
China, who tried to pull a Napoleon III and become an
Emperor. That didn’t work out, he had to abdicate, and
died in 1916.
The Yuan Shikai dollars are called “fat man dollars.”
There are four dates: Republic years 3, 8, 9, and 10 (1914,
’29, ’20, and ’21). Year 3 is by far the most common.
Mintage at least in the tens of millions. There are variet-
ies too.
One of the varieties was minted around 1950 at the old
Chengdu mint, in Sichuan. It was probably intended as
pay for Chinese soldiers, who would need it to buy things
in Tibet. The Chinese money was in disarray in 1950. The
paper money was inflated, you still needed silver to get
anything done in most of the country.
The Tibet fat man dollar is year 3. It is full weight. The
difference is in the bottom character on the reverse. That
character, YUAN (dollar) is a box with two elements
inside. On regular fat man dollars, the top element, the
“triangle,” is open on the right. In the Tibet dollar the
triangle is almost closed.
A normal circulated fat man dollar is over $100 these
days. Tibet dollars have always been rare. A search for
them online brought me to a place called The Treasure
House, which shows a Tibet dollar but apparently they
didn’t recognize it and thought it was an ordinary com-
mon one.
We have no idea how many were made. Would I pay

There is also a crown sized medal honoring the Dalai
Lama made in base metal, silver, and gold in 1967 by the
Franklin Mint. And another medal, made in Norway, in
1999.
And a U.S. Mint medal in bronze, large and small sized
versions, dated 2006, you can get them from the Mint.
I was asked to discuss the role of the Dalai Lama in
the production of the coinage during his tenure. I found
pondering the question.
The 14th Dalai Lama was a teenager when he came to
power in 1950. His education wasn’t complete. Coming
to power had to mean something like the functionaries
would ask him and he would almost always or always go
along with the recommendation.
Why would he do anything else? Tibet wasn’t the kind
of place where a headstrong monarch could rampage
around being egotistical. His basic job in the secular gov-
erning sector was something like checking the governing
proposals to see if they were properly Buddhist, because
Tibet was a theocracy where the priests were supposed to
be in charge.
So, when they came to him and said they wanted to
strike new coins that was way down the importance list.
He had to be spending most of his time playing chess
with China, trying to fend them off. And keeping the
monks and nuns in line. And advancing Buddhist schol-
arship.
I can imagine them coming to him with the proposal
for the last issue of presentation tangkas and him going,
“Sure, great idea, go ahead.”
Part of the sales pitch for the Australian medallic
items was that they were authorized by the Dalai Lama.
They were basically a fundraising venture. It is obvious to
me that he had nothing to do with the production of the
other non-monetary items.

The Silver Coinage of Russia
1755–1761
By R.W. Julian

1755 silver 5 kopecks, struck at St. Petersburg.

THE FINAL YEARS of Empress Elizabeth, who reigned

from November 1741 to December 1761, were full of history.
This was the time of the Seven Years’ War in Europe and the
French & Indian War in Colonial America. The numismatic
scene, to the modern collector, is just as interesting because
of the many changes that occurred.
During the early to mid-1750s the government had
engaged in intensive discussions and investigation of the
factors that affected the monetary system. Count Peter
Ivanovich Shuvalov then made several detailed proposals for
improvement. The most prominent of these concerned the
gold and copper coinages, but silver also came in for its share 1755 St. Petersburg ruble, portrait by Benjamin Scott.
of variety.
The first major change in the silver coinage came with the
striking of 5-kopeck pieces in 1755. This new coin was autho-
rized by decrees of the State Senate dated May 25 and July 4.
This special legislative body frequently issued the necessary
orders when directed to do so by the Empress.
The 5 kopecks of 1755 are a very small coin, only about
16.5 mm in diameter. In many respects the design is quite
similar to the Baroque copper kopecks first struck in 1755.
(Silver 5-kopeck coins had been struck previously, but in the
time of Peter the Great, who had died in 1725.)
Single-headed eagles were on both sides of these new silver
coins, unlike the usual rule requiring two heads. Presumably 1757 10 kopecks, struck at Moscow.
the designer intended that one head be considered as behind
part of the design. On the other hand, it may be that the two
heads on opposite sides of the coin were considered the front coins of the United States. Normally, Russian coins had a die

These silver five-kopeck coins are even more interesting in British coins. This ancient rule of coinage was broken for the

of 1755–1757: the dies were upset 180 degrees as on modern were similar on the two sides and the high points came up

opposite each other. If the changes had not been made the
coins would not have struck up well.
In point of fact the coinage of 5-kopeck silver coins during
the latter part of 1755 and early 1756 was not all that high on
quality. Mint technicians worked on the problem and found
that the planchet was too wide and suggested a smaller size.
A decree was formally issued to this effect, and in modern
terms, the coins were reduced to 14 mm, very small indeed.
Through the end of this design in 1761 the new smaller size
was used.
Silver piataks (as they were sometimes called) were coined
each year through 1761 and none is to be considered as overly
difficult to find, although the large planchet coins of 1756
appear to be scarcer than their smaller counterparts of the
same year. Mintages ranges from a low of 300,000 in 1761 to
a high of 3.6 million in 1758; the latter is perhaps the most
common coin of this type.
With a minor exception early in the reign (the grivennik,
or 10 kopecks of 1742-1745), Russian silver coinage under
Elizabeth was struck at a fineness of 77. Modern writers have
sometimes assumed that this meant 770/1000 but this is not
correct. In Russia the fineness of silver and gold coins until
1885 was always calculated in 96ths rather than 100ths. Thus,
the Russian fineness of 77 is equivalent to 802/1000.
It is interesting to note that the silver 5 kopecks had
another unique distinction. The mintmark for St. Petersburg
is present (along with the date on the reverse) but there is
no mintmaster initial. All other silver coins for the reign of
Elizabeth carry such initials after the middle of 1751.

Elizabeth continue the same design that was found on her
earliest issues, of 1742. The 10 kopecks were struck only
at Moscow and coinage for this denomination ended for
Elizabeth in 1757. Apparently, the authorities decided that
the silver 5 kopecks were a more convenient denomination for
the public to use in the marketplace.
There is no great collector demand for the grivenniks of
1755–1757 because not all that many individuals collect this
series by date, most being satisfied with a type coin for any
date between 1742 and 1757. The most difficult piece to find
after 1754 is the issue of 1755 with mintmaster initials EI
(Egor Ivanov).
During 1760 the St. Petersburg Mint struck two pattern
silver coins, of 15 and 20 kopecks, which would in due course
become regular features of Russian silver coinage. Both
patterns are of the highest rarity and even the Grand Duke
Georgii Mikhailovich, who had one of the finest collections
of Russian coins, was able to obtain only the 15 kopecks.
There exist 15-kopeck pieces dated 1761 but these are
novodels (restrikes) made from new dies some years later,
perhaps as early as the 1780s. The 1761 date may have been
an engraver’s mistake for 1760, when the original patterns
had actually been made.
The 15 kopecks are sometimes called the “Polish florin” as
it was designed for circulation in those areas of the country
where Polish money had once been used extensively. Both
denominations were struck on a regular basis during the reign
of Catherine II (1762–1796).
Like the grivennik, the polupoltina (quarter ruble) was of
little importance during the final years of Elizabeth’s rule.
We find annual issues for 1755 through 1758, all struck at
Moscow. The scarcest date after 1754 appears to be 1758,
with a reported mintage of only 44,000 pieces.
Poltinas (half rubles or 50 kopecks) were struck on a regu-
lar basis at the St. Petersburg Mint (Moscow did not strike
this denomination between 1749 and 1762) but on a very lim-
ited scale. Most of the published mintages are under 100,000
pieces. Poltinas were not struck carrying the date of 1757.
Few collectors specialize in the half ruble which is perhaps
a good thing because this denomination is difficult to locate
unless one is merely looking for a type coin. The 1761 with
mintmaster initials YaI (Yakov Ivanov) is by far the scarcest
of the late years and is virtually never seen. Several other date
and mintmaster combinations are very difficult to find.
The portrait of Elizabeth on the poltinas for these years
was prepared by engraver Benjamin Scott, who was given the
honor of signing his initials (BS) in Latin characters rather
than the usual Cyrillic. Although Scott did a number of hubs
(which are used to prepare coining dies) for the St. Petersburg
Mint, his principal role was to train Russians in the art of
1760 poltina (50 kopecks) struck at St. Petersburg.
engraving. Both Timofei Ivanov and Samuel Yudin were apt
pupils and went on to become outstanding engravers under
Catherine II.
The most interesting denomination in the silver series is
the ruble. Not only were these coins struck at both Moscow
and St. Petersburg, but generally in large quantities, making
them available to modern-day collectors. (Rubles were not
struck at Moscow for the years 1759 through 1761.) Moscow
issues are seen less often than those of St. Petersburg.
Benjamin Scott had prepared a new bust of the Empress
for the coinage of 1754, both rubles and poltinas. For the
poltina (half ruble) the Scott hub was used to prepare the
coinage dies used through the rest of her reign but as poltinas
were of little importance in the monetary system the mint
officials were not all that concerned with the imperial effigy.
The ruble was another matter entirely.
It is not clear just when Scott was active at the St.
Petersburg Mint and his stay may have extended only from
about 1753 to about 1756. His portrait punches were in use
until nearly the end of the decade, but this does not mean that
he was physically present at the St. Petersburg Mint.
In 1754 the new Scott portrait of the Empress was put on
the ruble coinage at St. Petersburg (signed with his initials,
BS, in small letters at the lower edge) but not at Moscow. The
latter mint kept on using, through its last ruble for Elizabeth
in 1758, the same portrait that been first used for issues in
1742.
For 1755 and 1756 the ruble coinage at St. Petersburg fol-
lowed the model of 1754 exactly but in 1757 came the first
of several changes. A new engraver, Jean-Antoine Dassier
(1715-1759), came in 1757 to St. Petersburg. He was not only
to engrave a new portrait of the Empress but was required
to instruct selected Russian engravers in the finer points of
die work. (Benjamin Scott had already worked with talented
apprentices but their training was to continue under Dassier.)

During 1757 Dassier cut the hub punch for both gold and
silver versions of a new portrait of the Empress. It is a superb
portrait on all counts and is one of the truly classic works
of Russian numismatics. Oddly enough, Dassier, despite the
high salary, did not sign his work as did Scott. There is some

disagreement among numismatists about the status of the
1757 Dassier rubles, but it is clear that his ruble without the
St. Petersburg mintmaster initials on the reverse is a very rare
pattern.
The Dassier obverse is also paired with a regular ruble
reverse die, with the mintmaster initials YaI. These are some-
times called patterns but also have been termed regular issues.
It is the opinion of this writer that they are regular issues
whose coinage was stopped after only a few tens of thousands
had been struck.
The problem was almost certainly that Dassier’s portrait
hub was in too high a relief and as a result the coins did not
strike up well. The two plate coins, in the corpus of Russian
coins by Grand Duke Georgii Mikhailovich, seem to bear
this out as they do not appear to be fully struck up, especially
in details of the hair.
Despite the general rarity of the 1757 Dassier ruble, the
St. Petersburg Mint does not seem to have restruck these
from the original dies for collectors and no replacement dies
(for novodels) were made. Since the late 18th century Dassier
rubles have been a favorite of collectors, both in Russia and
abroad.
The Scott portrait design was used during most of 1757

After all the trials and errors, officials at the St. Petersburg
Mint finally settled on the Ivanov portrait of 1757. It is not
an outstanding work of art, but apparently passed as good
enough by the Empress herself. (As the years progressed,

World Coin Clinic
Owning a Share of a Coin
Q Is there a reason U.S. coins never use some of the fun colors or are
even bi-metallic like a lot of the world new issues have done?
The United States is amazingly behind on technology regarding
both coins and bank notes. This involves not only color enhance-
ment capabilities and ringed bimetal coins, but the many counterfeit
prevention technologies being applied to bank notes elsewhere in the
world. We have had a single ringed bimetal coin and a single color
enhanced coin, neither of which was meant to be used in circulation.
Q What is the easiest way to look up a coin you’ve never seen before-
such as you’ve been handed a coin and have no idea what it is?
If it is a U.S. coin of which you speak I would read the legends
on the coin, then look the coin up in one of the many coin catalogs
available. Foreign coins in languages with which you are not famil-
iar are a different challenge. One quick reference that will help in
most cases is the ‘Instant Identifier’ pages in the various volumes of
Standard Catalog of World Coins.
Q Where is numismatics most prevalent?
Coin collecting is most prevalent in countries that can be con-
sidered to be affluent. Coin collecting is a luxury few people in
disadvantaged parts of the world can afford. The same thing can
be said about numismatists, these being people who study but don’t
necessarily collect currencies.
before her death, which occurred on December 25.
A new reverse eagle was prepared for the ruble coinage
in 1760 but is scarce for that year. It was used exclusively in
1761, however.
There are several rubles of this period which are relatively
common, such as the St. Petersburg issue of 1759, while oth-
ers are scarce to moderately rare. Those struck from the
Dassier, and Ivanov dies of 1757 are, of course, special cases.
RICHARD GIEDROYC
Q Why are some coins made with holes in them?
Initially coins produced with holes in them were meant to be
strung together when being transported. Some more modern issues
have been made using planchets in which a hole is present in order to
make the diameter of the coin larger. This ensures even a coin with a
low weight is large enough to be practical in commerce.
Q Is it true Louis XIV of France collected coins?
“The Sun King,” Louis XIV (1638-1715) collected ancient coins.
Today his collection is the nucleus of the Cabinet des Medailles at
the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris and is considered to be one of
the largest coin collections in the world. French ambassadors and
missionaries to Greece, Italy, and the Orient were told to acquire
ancient coins for the king. Not a bad way to collect!
Q Can I own a share of a rare coin, or must I buy it outright?
There is nothing that says you can’t own a piece of coin along
with one or more additional owners. If you were to do this, I would
suggest you have an attorney draw up an agreement regarding where
the coin would be stored, how the multiple owners would determine
when to resell it, and how they would sell it.

his is Austria’s year. Not
only did Austrian Mint
coins claim an impressive
three Coin of the Year
(COTY) category wins in
the 2022 awards competition, but the
country has also earned top honors as
Coin of the Year Champion.
The winning coin is a gold 100-euro
marking “The Gold of the Pharaohs,”
the second coin of the Austrian Mint’s
“The Magic of Gold” series that traces
the mysterious nature of gold in ancient
cultures. The coin was named Best
Gold Coin in the awards program’s first
round of competition.
The Coin of the Year program, now
in its 39th year, is an internationally
conducted competition presented by
World Coin News to recognize out-
standing coin design and innovation
worldwide. The 2022 program, spon-
sored by The Journal of East Asian
Numismatics, honors coins dated 2020
in 10 categories of competition as
decided by an international panel of
judges.

Egyptian images, with Tutankhamun’s
father Akhenaten in its center. The
elder Pharaoh is on his knees with
hands raised in homage to the sun
god, Aten, as the lance-shaped rays of
the solar disk descend towards him.
In the background is a sarcophagus
containing a Pharaoh, under which the
hieroglyphic for gold can be seen. The
reverse design displays the death mask
of Tutankhamun.
The design and execution in gold
made it a clear favorite in the first
round of voting.

772 Lots at Künker Bring in Millions Over
Estimate
KÜNKER FINISHED AUCTION sales 358 and 259 on
Jan. 26, 2022. Both auctions were a tremendous success.
The 772 lots realized 10.4 million euros, well over 11 mil-
lion USD, soaring above their estimated 7 million euros.

Estimate: 20,000 euros. Hammer price: 75,000 euros.
The Köhlmoos Collection played a major role in the
success of the auction sale: it realized a total result of
2.8 million euros, which is an increase of 40 percent
compared to its estimate. The highest price within this
collection was achieved by a specimen of the earliest
klappmützentaler type featuring the authentic portrait
of Frederick the Wise. The iconic piece climbed from an
estimate of 20,000 euros to a hammer price of 75,000
Even though these are truly remarkable results, there
is no denying the fact that gold coins are currently real-
izing even higher prices. A good example for this is the
Upper Bavarian collection from Staffelsee with about
60 Bavarian gold coins. The estimate had been 300,000
euros, the hammer price added up to two and a half times
resp. 250 percent this figure: 750,000 euros. The highest
result was achieved by a quintuple ducat by Maximilian I
from 1640 commemorating the refortification of the city
of Munich. Due to its extraordinary quality, the price
increased from 10,000 to 90,000 euros – and still did not
make Künker’s Top Five.

The selection of rare lösers of excellent quality from

Stack's Bowers Sells Over $20 Million in World
and Ancient Numismatics at 2022 NYINC
By Tom Michael

FOLLOWING A RECORD-BREAKING year in 2021, the

World and Ancient Coin Department at Stack’s Bowers
Galleries saw continued strong prices as over $20 million
in numismatic items crossed the block in their annual offi-
cial auction of the New York International Numismatic
Convention. (All prices include the buyer’s fee.)
The sale featured numerous important collections and
brought to light many treasures that had been off the market
for years. Part 1 of the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection
included Greek, Polish, and Russian rarities, many offered
for the first time since the 1930s. The Salton cabinet of Polish
gold exceeded expectations, generating strong prices far
beyond the catalog estimates, led by two large sized medal-
lic issues from the reign of Sigismund III. A 1595 Medal in
10 Ducat Weight struck in Vilnius and commemorating the
Union of Sweden into the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
reached $480,000, more than three times the high estimate of
$150,000. A 1592 Medal in 7 Ducat Weight graded AU-55
by PCGS sold for $360,000, well above the high estimate of
$200,000. The Salton Collection also offered two extremely
rare Riga minted Ducats which are key additions to any
advanced collection of Polish hammered gold. The Riga issue
from 1599/88 graded MS-63 by PCGS closed at $126,000
against an estimate of $50,000-$80,000. The second Riga
piece, a 1584 Ducat from the Reign of Stephen Bathori grade
AU-50 by PCGS, was the stunner of the entire action as it
was bid up to $216,000, more than triple its presale high esti-
mate. It now holds the record for the highest price paid for a
Polish single Ducat at public auction.
The Salton Collection also offered plenty of treasures of
ancient numismatics and formed a major part of the ancient
coins presented at the sale. Two Dekadrachms from the time
of Dionysios I attracted much interest, one signed by Kimon
and graded NGC Ch VF Strike: 5/5 Surface: 5/5 Fine Style,
and the other signed by Euainetos and graded NGC Ch EF
Strike: 5/5 Surface: 4/5 Fine Style. The Kimon piece sold for The Gem Collection of British Campaign medals also

The Royal Mint Releases The Queen’s
Platinum Jubilee Coin
THE ROYAL MINT has confirmed that a 50-pence coin cel-
ebrating Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee will be
released into circulation via post offices across the U.K. from
Monday Feb. 7.
The special 50-pence coin features a commemorative
Platinum Jubilee design on the reverse side of the coin and will
be circulated following the 70th anniversary of Her Majesty’s
accession to the throne in 1952.
The collaboration with U.K. post offices ensures that mem-
bers of the public will get the chance to receive the special
50-pence coin in their change at branches nationwide from Feb.
7 onwards.
The Royal Mint has already started to strike the coins at their
highly secure site in South Wales, with a pressure of around 60
tonnes striking up to 850 coins a minute.
It is the first time that a Royal event has been celebrated on a
50-pence, Britain’s most collectable coin, and the unique design
has been personally approved by The Queen.
Designed by artists Osborne Ross, the coin features the num-
ber 70 with the Royal Cypher and the dates of Her Majesty’s
reign framed inside the zero. On the opposite side is the fifth
definitive portrait of The Queen, by Jody Clark, which appears
on all circulating U.K. coins.
The Royal Mint’s Director of U.K. Currency Mark Loveridge
said: “Coins tell the story of our nation and we are delighted to
be working with the Post Office to mark this special Royal occa-
sion. By issuing the Platinum Jubilee coin into circulation it
ensures that this significant moment in history can be cherished
for generations to come.
“This special 50 pence features an elegant and bold number
70 in celebration of Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee year, and we
expect it to become one of the nation’s most collectable coins.
We are delighted that 1.3 million coins baring this unique design
will be accessible at Post Offices across the U.K.”
Trusted by monarchs for 1,100 years, The Royal Mint has
struck circulating coins for The Queen throughout her reign,
including five definitive portraits of Her Majesty. The Platinum
Jubilee 50-pence coins are expected to be highly sought after due
to the limited release of 1.3 million for U.K. Post Offices. The
maximum coin mintage is set at 5,000,070 coins – in a special
nod to 70 years on the throne.
Nick Read, Chief Executive at the Post Office, said: “We are
thrilled to be part of the celebrations for Her Majesty’s Platinum
Jubilee year and that our 11,500 Post Offices across the whole of
the United Kingdom will exclusively start the circulation of this
special 50-pence coin from Monday 7th February. Postmasters
are at the heart of their local communities and have been
throughout our 360-year history. I have no doubt that this will
be a real honour and privilege for Postmasters and their teams.”
Members of the public can find details of their local Post
Office by visiting its website. There will be limited supplies of this
coin entering circulation. To be in with the chance of receiving
the new 50-pence, a Post Office customer will need to purchase
a product or service at the branch. It is not possible to swap a
50-pence coin for this special 50-pence coin at the post office
counter.
The circulation news comes after The Royal Mint released
a commemorative coin collection for Her Majesty The Queen’s
Platinum Jubilee, featuring a unique design on both sides of the
coin. Collectors can find out more about the Platinum Jubilee
range, and the commemorative 50-pence, at The Royal Mint.

Commemorating Black History Featuring
Underground Railroad
THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, the
famous network of safe houses and secret
routes that helped enslaved people of African
descent escape to freedom in Canada, is the
subject of the Royal Canadian Mint’s latest
issue in its ongoing Commemorating Black
History coin series. Launched in conjunction
with the start of Black History Month, this
silver collector coin designed by Toronto artist
Kwame Delfish, portrays in a unique perspec-
tive the human side of the perilous northward
migration, which reached its peak in the 1850s
and 1860s. This moving new collectible became
available as of Feb. 1, 2022.
“The employees of the Royal Canadian
Mint are proud to once again add to the
national celebration of Black History Month
with a beautiful silver coin that brings the
important story of the Underground Railroad
to life,” said Marie Lemay, President and CEO
of the Royal Canadian Mint. “By remember-
ing those who undertook the long and risky
journey to escape slavery in the 19th century,
as well as their brave and tireless guides, we are
reminding ourselves that freedom is one of our
most enduring values.”
The reverse design of this 99.99% pure sil-
ver coin is an innovative tribute to those who
travelled the Underground Railroad. The men,
women and children following the Big Dipper
constellation to guide their way north to free-
dom, are illustrated along the coin’s edge to
create the sense of circular motion representing
their long, continuous journey. The obverse
features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt, set against a
repeating maple leaf pattern.
“This coin is meant to honour and pay
homage to the ancestral slaves that escaped to
the North in search of freedom,” said artist
Kwame Delfish. “Many did not get to complete
the journey and faced the same (if not more)
hardships than what they left behind. The ones
that made it built their legacies and shaped the
mosaic that Canada is today. My hope is that
their strength and courage is illustrated on this
coin, and that I have sung their gospel.”
Limited to a mintage of 5,500, the 2022
$20 Fine Silver Coin Commemorating Black
History - The Underground Railroad retails for
$99.95. This new collectible may be ordered as
of today by contacting the Mint at 1-800-267-
1871 in Canada, 1-800-268-6468 in the U.S., or
at www.mint.ca.

44 World Coin News / March 2022

In memory of
Harvey Stack
June 3, 1928–January 3, 2022
The collecting community mourns
the passing of a true pioneer. Harvey
Stack helped grow the rare coin
business founded by his father into
Stack’s Bowers Galleries, a global
numismatic powerhouse.
For decades, Stack was at the forefront of the collecting community.
Among the many highlights was his guidance in the development of
Josiah K. Lilly’s superb cabinet of gold coins, which was donated to
the Smithsonian in the 1960s. Stack remained involved with
Stack’s Bowers well into the 21st century, working most
recently with the Mark and Lottie Salton estate to bring
their outstanding collection to auction this year.

Stack gave back to the numismatic world,

serving as president of the Professional
Numismatists Guild. He was also a
longtime supporter of the American
Numismatic Association and tirelessly
advocated for initiatives that greatly
enhanced the coin collecting hobby.

NGC joins its friends, colleagues

and the entire numismatic
community in paying respects
to a man who left such a
meaningful legacy.
2022 Shekel Announced
THE 2022 SHEKEL Prize, for the best book on the
subject of Ancient Judaean, Holy Land, Israel, or Jewish
Numismatics, is being shared by two books: “Guide to
Biblical Coins, 6thEdition” by David Hendin and “The
Handbook of Biblical Numismatics, 45th Anniversary
Edition” by Mel Wacks. Dr. Ira Rezak, Acting Chair of
the Shekel Prize Committee, announced that the deci-
sion was unanimous, after Hendin and Wacks recused
themselves.
Hendin has revised and updated his “Guide to Biblical
Coins,” which is the standard reference in the field, to
reflect relevant discoveries in archaeology and numismat-
ics of ancient Israel. The metallurgy of Judean coins,
symbols on Hasmonean cons, the Hasmonean coin chro-
nology, Herodian mints, irregular issues, the Jewish War,
and coin denominations are only a few of the topics that
Hendin has updated. New to the sixth edition is numis-
matic information about the Kingdom of Adiabene,
the Ituraean Kingdom, the Roman Governors of Syria,
and coins with images of Old Testament stories. Many
hundreds of new and improved graphics help illuminate
the text. The photo plates have been expanded dramati-
cally as have the images in the catalog and text. Includes
a complete concordance between previous editions of
GBC as well as other key references, elaborate end notes,
an expanded bibliography, a full index, and an index of
46 World Coin News / March 2022
Latin inscriptions on the Judaea Capta coins.
Wacks’ “Handbook of Biblical Numismatics, 45th
Anniversary Edition” features over 150 coins in full
color, 20 maps, over 50 Biblical quotes. and estimated
coin values by Ira Goldberg. While the book is still easily
read by the novice, it also contains the latest theories of
experts in the field on controversial subjects like the bud
(pomegranate or poppy?) appearing in between double
cornucopia on Hasmonean coins, the vessel (chalice or
pot of manna?) and budding plant (pomegranates or
Aaron’s rod?) on First Revolt Shekels, etc. The coins
mentioned in the New Testament also receive attention
- the Widow’s Mite, Tribute Penny and Thirty Pieces
of Silver. Readers will also learn about the Herodian
Kings of Armenia, the Jewish Princess Salome, and the
connection between Cleopatra and Judaea. Appendices
include Ancient Hebrew Coin Inscriptions, The Holy of
Holies on Ancient Judaean Coins, Roman Tenth Legion
